(RESPONSE MONITORING)
Diagnostic Procedure (Cont'd)
EC-275

SEF327R
Component DescriptionNBEC0154The heated oxygen sensor 2 (rear), after three way catalyst, moni-
tors the oxygen level in the exhaust gas on each bank.
Even if switching characteristics of the heated oxygen sensor 1
(front) are shifted, the air fuel ratio is controlled to stoichiometric,
by the signal from the heated oxygen sensor 2 (rear).
This sensor is made of ceramic zirconia. The zirconia generates
voltage from approximately 1V in richer conditions to 0V in leaner
conditions.
Under normal conditions the heated oxygen sensor 2 (rear) is not
used for engine control operation.

Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-

SEF305UA
On Board Diagnosis LogicNBEC0157The heated oxygen sensor 2 (rear) has a much longer switching
time between rich and lean than the heated oxygen sensor 1
(front). The oxygen storage capacity before the three way catalyst
causes the longer switching time. To judge the malfunctions of
heated oxygen sensor 2 (rear), ECM monitors whether the voltage
is unusually high during the various driving condition such as fuel-
cut.
Malfunction is detected when an excessively high voltage from the
sensor is sent to ECM.
